Woke up this morning with my attention drawn to "urination." Besides the obvious reason for focusing on the subject, I knew there was something more—something the process of urination could demonstrate about taking in and letting go. I actually felt invited to consider this, so I am. Will explore as I write...
Our bodies know how to draw the nutrition and life-sustaining essence from the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. We absorb what is needed for our survival and our thriving; the rest is released. A simple explanation for a profoundly complex process, given the exquisite harmony necessary among the internal, unseen elements and systems within our bodies.
Our health, this exquisite inner harmony, also depends upon our interaction with the "outside" world.
We are continually taking in and being sustained—not only by food, water, and air, but also by our experiences.
The morning's strange prompting leads me to look at what I can beneficially absorb and what I might need to release in the context of particular relationships and events. What beliefs and thoughts are actually waste material—the residue of past experiences not fostering growth, but rather creating discomfort? What can I take from past and present relationships/events that feeds and fuels me? What am I holding onto that may be interfering with my functioning, let alone my thriving? Great questions in the interest of my well-being and joy.

I have to go, but I'll be back. Maybe even will take a closer look at certain pivotal events, discerning the nourishment from beliefs and thoughts absorbed that are depleting. If any one is reading this, you are warmly invited to do the same: to absorb the value and let go what at this point may even be toxic to your well-being—and to witness that out loud in the comments under this blog.
Also, if you are reading this—thanks for listening.
